Opinions on wrapper impact..

[Dux]

I've tossed many cigars after the wrapper unraveled. The taste changes drastically and I didn't like the gritty taste of the binder..

This is one reason I prefer maduros. Yes, I like their flavor, but I also find this wrapper far less fragile and less prone to splitting and flaking. I like the flavor of, say, African Cameroon too, but that wrapper breaks apart if you even look at it sideways.

There are nice, thick, toothy cameroons, too, Thomas.
La Aurora uses those see-through cameroon wrappers, but lots of outfits use nice, thick, mature, well-fermented thick cammies.

I like my cigars, and can live with them killing me slowly, but I really don't want to die for one.

I agree with Doug. I have continued smoking cigars with the wrapper removed, and there is a significant loss of flavor and enjoyment for me.

The only impact the wrapper has for me is when it's a San Andreas. It gets my money every time........
